1 Kings 11:1-13

1Now 1KingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 foreignH5237 womenH802 along with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547: MoabiteH4125, AmmoniteH5984, EdomiteH130, SidonianH6722, and HittiteH2850 womenH802, 2from the nationsH1471 concerning whichH834 the LordH3068 had saidH559 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, “2You shall not 3associateH935 with them, norH3808 shall they 4associateH935 with you, for they will surelyH403 turnH5186 your heartH3824 awayH5186 afterH310 their godsH430.” SolomonH8010 heldH1692 fastH1692 to theseH1992 in loveH157. 35He hadH1961 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wivesH802, princessesH8282, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubinesH6370, and his wivesH802 turnedH5186 his heartH3820 awayH5186. 4For whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, his wivesH802 turnedH5186 his heartH3824 awayH5186 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430; and 6his heartH3824 was not 7whollyH8003 devotedH8003 to the LordH3068 his GodH430, as the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1 had been. 5For SolomonH8010 wentH1980 afterH310 8AshtorethH6252 the goddessH430 of the SidoniansH6722 and afterH310 910MilcomH4445 the detestableH8251 idolH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984. 6SolomonH8010 didH6213 whatH7451 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, and did not followH310 the LordH3068 fullyH4390, as DavidH1732 his fatherH1 had done. 7ThenH227 SolomonH8010 builtH1129 a highH1116 placeH1116 for 11ChemoshH3645 the detestableH8251 idolH8251 of MoabH4124, on the mountainH2022 whichH834 is 12eastH5921H6440 of JerusalemH3389, and for 13MolechH4432 the detestableH8251 idolH8251 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983. 8ThusH3651 also he didH6213 for allH3605 his foreignH5237 wivesH802, who burnedH6999 incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 to their godsH430.

9Now 14the LordH3068 was angryH599 with SolomonH8010 15becauseH3588 his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 awayH5186 from the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, 16who had appearedH7200 to him twiceH6471, 10and 17had commandedH6680 him concerningH5921 thisH2088 thingH1697, that he should not goH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430; but he did not observeH8104 whatH834 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680. 11So the LordH3068 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, “BecauseH3282H834 18you have doneH1961H5973 thisH2088, and you have not keptH8104 My covenantH1285 and My statutesH2708, whichH834 I have commandedH6680 you, 19I will surelyH7167 tearH7167 the kingdomH4467 from you, and will giveH5414 it to your servantH5650. 12NeverthelessH389 I will not doH6213 it in your daysH3117 for the sakeH4616 of your fatherH1 DavidH1732, but I will tearH7167 it out of the handH3027 of your sonH1121. 13HoweverH7534, 20I will not tearH7167 awayH7167 allH3605 the kingdomH4467, but 21I will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to your sonH1121 for the sakeH4616 of My servantH5650 DavidH1732 and 22for the sakeH4616 of JerusalemH3389 whichH834 I have chosenH977.”
